Paros Itinerary: How to Spend 3-5 Days in Paros, Greece
Paros was the first Greek island I visited in 2019. And after my tough experience in Morocco, it felt like heaven. I loved the beaches, the tavernas, and the winding streets of the traditional Cycladic villages. Plus, as a solo female traveller, I always felt safe and comfortable which is so important. My experience here…

Athens, Greece is amazing.

Yes, Athens has a couple rough bits…
Read MoreHow to Spend 3 Days in Lake Garda
When it comes to Italian Lakes, Como tends to get all the attention. Granted, it is beautiful, but it’s also quite busy and expensive. So much so that instead of staying there, I decided to go to Lake Como as a day trip from Milan. However, there’s another (even bigger) lake in Italy that is…
Read MoreWhat to Wear in Jordan: Packing tips for Women
Jordan was a dream destination for me. Playing Indiana Jones in Petra, wandering through the ruins of Jerash, trying knafeh for the first time in Amman, and exploring Wadi Rum. I loved Jordan.

Read MoreVisit Petra Like Indiana Jones: 1 Day in Petra
In November of 2019 my childhood dream of playing Indiana Jones in Petra came true, and yes, it was just as amazing as I had hoped. Walking through that narrow Siq and having the carved face of the treasury suddenly come to view around the corner was just plain magical, and I couldn’t help but…

When I was in the planning stages of my trip to Egypt, a Nile cruise wasn’t on my radar. I was planning a DIY 2 Week Egypt Vacation on a budget and, in my head, a cruise wasn’t going to fit into that budget. Yet as I researched hotels in Aswan and Luxor, the best…

Read MoreThe Best Things to do in Dahab, Egypt: A Bohemian Diver’s Paradise
When it comes to travel in Egypt we tend to think of the ancient history. The pyramids and the temples. Mummies and Nile cruises.

Read MoreThe Best of Copenhagen in 1 Day
I didn’t plan on only having 1 day in Copenhagen. But of course, as is often the case when travelling, a lot can happen to throw your plans down the drain. This time it was a majorly delayed flight that saw me spending nearly an entire day in the Dublin airport instead of hanging out…

When I was planning my 5-week trip through French Polynesia with my friend one of the things I knew I HAD to do was go scuba diving. French Polynesia was my first trip outside of Canada for 18 months because of COVID-19 and I missed the ocean and diving like crazy. However, while French Polynesia…
Read MoreSwimming with Whales in Tonga: Everything You Need to Know
“Ready…. GO!” Without hesitating I push myself off of the boat and into the rolling ocean waves. GoPro strapped to my wrist, I swim straight ahead, eyes scanning the waters around me for any flicker of movement or flash of a tail. A couple of waves crash over me, causing the salty water to flow…
